TRUCKS ORDERED
Safety Problems
TO KEEP OFF ROAD
Heavy trucks were ordered off
the Forest Grove highway be­
tween Treharne and Vernonia
Thursday afternoon, on account
of the heat melting the tar where
the road had been patched. In­
cluding in the embargo were
several Vale and Scott logging
trucks which were compelled to
wait until night.
State traffic police patrolled
the road to see that there was
no heavy trucking.

"From
Forest
to
Farm”
The first of a new series
of articles on what farmers
in the Nehalem valley are
doing to build up an agri­
cultural industry in this sec­
tion appears on page 3 of
this issue under the caption,
“From Forest to Farm.” In
this series the editor will
report interviews with farm­
ers who are achieving results
which perhaps remain un­
appreciated unless attention
is called to them.
